(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Reposting this in case anyone out there honestly thinks they should have any measure of sympathy for this monster, who apart from celebrating dead schoolkids, partied at the White House while 10,000,000 Americans were kicked off food stamps during the 2025 government shutdown.
fucking Josh Hawley looking like the guy who wasn't invited into the conversation but donkey laughs for attention
He's actually one of my senators, which is why I saved the photo originally. It's just quite appropriate to remember these bastards today too.
Yeah Missouri fuckin sucks.
I live here too.
Yes, it does, I really want to move but I like my job.
This is why I would vote to have all reps be sequestered during a shutdown. No fundraising, no fancy brunches, no visiting your mistress, no podcasting.
So ridiculous that it looks like AI
I wish very much that it was fake, but yes, this is how most of our legislators party when ten million people are about to be kicked off food stamps.
What makes you think that ?
Can we have some dialog please?

The other user is probably referring to the support for Ukraine.
Ah, didn't realize that. Thank you for clarifying.
I wasn't criticizing any lack of info. Just thought it'd be funny to invent some.
I hope the rest of them shown here die soon too.
